Amigurumi patterns on the Kindle

Seven of my Amigurumi patterns are available for the Amazon Kindle. The Kindle is an electronic book reader. The text looks very sharp and crisp: it looks even better than on paper. You can easily find and get the patterns onto your Kindle. In the coming weeks I will add more patterns.
